Judith Serrano, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Judith!

I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who offers a warm, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to therapy. I support individuals, couples, and families in navigating life’s challenges, with a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders.

My focus

I work with young children, adolescents, young adults, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, emotional overwhelm, and relationship struggles. My approach is warm and deeply relational, creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and safe to explore your experiences.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused therapy. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and able to make meaningful change.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, calming, and genuinely engaged. I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to express yourself openly. Clients often describe our work as collaborative, grounding, and gently challenging in ways that help them grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I am deeply committed to helping people navigate life’s challenges and find greater clarity and balance. I am passionate about supporting clients as they build resilience, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives, all within a safe and compassionate space.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative and flexible process, working with clients to identify what truly matters to them. Together, we set meaningful goals that support growth and healing, while honoring each person’s pace and celebrating progress along the way.

Our first session

During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming and safe space to share their story. I take time to understand your concerns, answer questions about therapy, and collaborate with you to clarify goals. Together, we begin laying the foundation for growth and meaningful change.
